You know that feeling you get when you stand up too fast after you have laid down for a while? That's how I always feel.

Ninja attack (working title)

Posted by Shintoku - November 9th, 2007

My first flash, "Ninja Attack", is under way! I might release a trailer of it, but it pisses me off when other people do that, so I probably won't.
The series is going to follow a new ninja, "Jeff" as they call him. His first big mission was to assassinate Ronald Reagan, but before doing so, he is struck by a bus. He is in a coma until 2008, and upon regaining conciousness, has lost his mind.

I hope it goes well.

I'm getting better at drawing images, but still need some work on my animating.

Here's a rough pic from the project!

I like.

Thanks man! Like I said, though, it's going to be the animating that kills me, and I won't post it online until I think it's perfect.

Thanks! That is just a beta copy of what he will look like. I'm going to be using mostly tweens. It seems the most productive. I've only been using flash for a couple of months now. I'm picking it up fast, but there is still a lot for me to learn. I used to be a music major, now I'm in computer programming. Next semester is my first programming class, so I hope they can shed some light on the scripting side of things. Also, I am trying to get his fucking limbs to move correctly when I make him move. It's not a fluidity problem, but the lines I've for the outline of his limbs keep moving over each other. I think I'm going to take a lesson from Adam Phillips and redraw the character at every possible moment. That's gonna be a bitch, but at least it will look right. Got any tips?

i frame by frame pretty much everything, only not so when characters are idle, its a right fucking ball ache, but the end result looks great.

if your gonna use tweens, it takes a while to be proficient with them, i for one, am shite at tweening, the only time i use them is to move movie clips about for quick scenes like running jumping etc,

if your gonna tween the character be prepared to use a LOT of layers, segregate the character up into many different parts,

so have a torso layer, head layer, foreground bicep layer, background bicep layer, foreground arm layer, background arm layer, foreground thigh, background thigh, foreground shin, background shin. and tween them inside a movie clip to look like its running, then tween THAT to move to the left or right.

(see why i Frame By Frame?)

also making a character turn is quite hard to explain, a good way to get better is stealing from others and making it your own. i mean watch a movie and see the way the author uses the characters moving themselves.

pfft... i suck at tweening...

if your ever gonna frame by frame i suggest drawing out the entire scene using stick men first then adding flesh over them like a mannequin

I'm quite proficient in flash so if you ever need a hand don't hesitate to send me a PM
